Vicepresident biden hey. [cheers and applause] how are you . Good to see you. Thank you, man. Thank you. Nice to see you. Folks, its going to be very short and i wanted to come down and begin by thanking everyone for being here. And mr. Mayor, thank you so much for your unending support, it means a lot. Folks, look, i want to thank everyone. We had a great night last night. And tremendous support from all across the nation with victories in texas, virginia, north carolina, arkansas, alabama, tennessee, oklahoma. Minnesota. Massachusetts and just this morning we won maine as well. [applause] vicepresident biden it will be a while for the final results in california. But those who of you who have been knocked down, this is your campaign. This is your campaign. Look, we are going to bring together all americans. And we showed that last night regardless of your race or gender, republicans, democrats, every stripe. I really mean that. This is what we have to do to win and unify the nation. I ran in the first place to unify. We welcome all those who want to join us. And to build a movement. And this is a movement. It is a movement. And we need that movement to beat donald trump and to build a future we all know is possible. Im especially proud of our campaign that is generating so much enthusiasm and is driving up voter turnout. This idea that we didnt have a movement. Look at the results and look who is showing up. This campaign, the people behind me are bringing out people who have not participated. Its way up. Way up. It proves to me that positive progressive vision we have been providing is resonating, resonating all over the country. To make sure health care is affordable and accessible to everyone. To make sure every child gets a quality education regardless of the zip code they live in. And to take on and beat the n. R. A. And the gun manufacturers which i promise you, i will do and not only protect Social Security but what i have been calling for some time, increasing benefits for seniors and those that are in need now who have lost a spouse or run out of their coverage because they have been living a long time and securing it for every generation that follows. That is the proposal. And take on the threat of climate change. You know, it is the threat to our planet. And creating in the process, we will create 10 million jobs. Not 15 an hour. 4550 dollars an hour with benefits. Those people who may be displaced, they are the ones who are going to get those jobs. I was proud to serve as president obamas Vice President for eight years. From passing obamacare and the work we did to rescue the Auto Industry and the nations economy, everybody forgets. My mother had an expression, the greatest ability god gave mankind was the ability to forget. If that werent the case, we would have one child. All kidding aside, we forget where we were. And we were just getting ready and just got the economy up and running in a big way and rebuild the middle class in a way we should be building it now. We took on the climate change. Everything was just beginning. We have so much more to do. We have to put in a bigger , Broader Vision for this nation and make it happen. But first we have to defeat donald trump. We have to keep nancy pelosi as the speaker. In order to do that, we have to win the senate back and this vision that i have for the future, we will make it a reality. What we cant let happen in the next few weeks is let this primary turn into a campaign of negative attacks. The only thing is help donald trump and doesnt help any one of the candidates left in the campaign. We have to keep our eye on the ball. The eye on the ball is to reclaim the soul of this country. Donald trump poses a threat to our standing in the world. He does. They all know he has fanned the flames of hate and sought to divide us and watched insult our allies and embrace demagogs and embraced dictators and our alliances are weakened. Every alliance we have had is weakened. If we give this meant another four years, he will fundamentally change the character of this nation. We cant let this happen. Thats why the moment i entered this race, i said we are in the battle for the soul of this nation. We are. Its on to michigan, mississippi, missouri, north dakota, idaho, washington state. We will take despite all across america. To rebuild the middle class and give people the opportunity and that has been denied them. The next president i said many times has to be able on the first day they are elected president , stand on the stage and face a divided nation and a world in disarray and have to know what they are doing. I want to make it clear to all the people in this country between now and election day and i believe we have a significant opportunity to move this country to command the 21st century unlike we have had any opportunity before. I really believe that from every fiber in my being. Folks, as i said, the character is on the ballot, not only the character of the candidates but the character of the nation. Im looking forward to it. And i want to thank you all. Im not going to take any questions and im sure you have thousands of them. You will get a question to ask me a lot as we go along. I just wanted to make a statement before i headed out. Im doing another interview in a moment. But i thank you all and i thank everyone for coming.
